Chapter 01
What a session actually works on, and what it does not
A position session at G1 is not a general fitness hour with a ball in it. It is stance and start, release off the line, hand placement, ball security, and the footwork that belongs to one position. An athlete who wants to play receiver spends the session on releases and catching away from the frame. An athlete at defensive back spends it on hips, transitions and playing the ball late. That narrowness is the reason the hour is worth paying for.
The most common thing parents arrive with is an athlete who is fast in a straight line and cannot change direction under a defender. Speed on its own stops being a separator somewhere around third or fourth grade, once everybody on the field is quick. What separates after that is whether a player can start, stop and start again without losing balance, and whether their hands work when the ball arrives in an awkward place. Both of those are coachable, and both are what these sessions are for.

Who coaches your athlete, and what they did in the position
The academy publishes a roster for position sessions rather than a generic staff page, because the coach is the product. Receivers and tight ends train with London Crawford, who played 37 games at Arkansas with 17 starts, scored the game-winning touchdown against LSU in 2008, and later signed with the Houston Texans. Receivers and running backs also train with Lawann Latson, who played for the New York Giants, the New Orleans Saints, the Ottawa Rough Riders and the London Monarchs, and has since developed athletes who reached the NFL, among them Tank Dell, KaVontae Turpin, Trent Taylor, Terrace Marshall Jr., Tyler Hudson, John Stephens Jr. and Calvin Jackson Jr.
Defensive backs train with Ron Brooks, a cornerback who went to the Buffalo Bills in the fourth round of the 2012 NFL Draft out of LSU and later played for the Philadelphia Eagles. Ramon Broadway, the academy president, also takes position work: he was a three-year starter and captain at Arkansas before the NFL with the San Diego Chargers and the CFL with the Edmonton Eskimos. Strength and conditioning sits with Alex Marley, who also runs the academy's Running Club.
Rates are published rather than quoted privately. Coach Latson is $100 per hour, Alex Marley is $90 per hour, and Coach Crawford is $75 per hour. If you are not certain which coach your athlete needs, call the academy on (972) 269-5188 and describe what they play, and the staff will route it rather than sell you the most expensive hour.
Chapter 03
Private or small group, and how sessions sit against a season
A fully private hour is the right call when an athlete is fixing something specific and visible, such as a release they cannot win or a catching technique that fails under contact. A small group is usually better for a younger athlete, partly because the cost is shared and partly because competing against another player is the only way some techniques get tested. A drill an athlete can do perfectly alone and not at all against an opponent has not been learned yet.
Position sessions are also the part of G1 that runs when nothing else does. There are no camps scheduled for Fall 2026 and the next are planned for Spring 2027, and league seasons have their own start and end, but position work continues through the gaps. Families often use it exactly that way: hold technique through the off weeks so the athlete is not starting from scratch when the season reopens.
The coaching approach is the same one the academy applies everywhere, which it calls connect, correct, reconnect. The coach builds the relationship first, corrects by teaching the fix rather than criticising the error, then reconnects so the athlete leaves knowing the correction came from care. In an hour of one to one work that matters more than it sounds, because a private session with a coach a child has decided to stop listening to is an hour wasted.
